Vettnutts box smells bad

Anyone else have an issue with the adhesive on the Vettnuts box stinking up the car? Everytime I get in the car now it smells like someone dumped a can of Krylon in the car.

A lot of times adhesive emits a bad smell. Not sure what to tell you, you may want to contact them.

It's the fiberglass curing. I had the same thing going on with mine and I think after a week the smell was totally gone.

Mine smelled of resin, so I just left them out with fans blowing on them overnight ... no mo smell. This is likely due to them being so freshly made, which is a good sign

When I made my own fiberglass box …. my car stank of resin for at least a week …. It eventually went away
